My latest column for Cha: An Asian Literary Journal dives into the life and story of Indian-American artist Sai Pradhan and the inspirations for her exhibition, With Regard to Myths. It’s got geckos and dogs in it. What more could you want from art? I had the pleasure of attending Sai’s mythical preview tonight and you definitely don’t want to miss it!!!

Thanks so much Tammy Ho Lai-ming for the care and attention you put into making every piece pop! You can read my first conversation for Cha with fine artist George Tang Kwok-wing here.

Thank you to Vicki and Mind HK for the opportunity to perform a bunch of humorous poems alongside my fellow ambassadors Vish and Derek in the first event of the 2024 Hong Kong International Literary Festival last night! Thank you so much to everyone who attended for being such an appreciative audience and to my amazing friends and fam; Philippe, Noz, Charles, Stewart, Eny, Mio, Carol, Susan, Nathan, Chriz and Amy!

Tomorrow night is the launch of Hong Kong Writers Circle anthology Lost in Transition and I’ll be reading again. That’s sold out too but there’s a good chance of no-shows so it’s definitely worth trying your luck on the door. Hope to see you there!

Thanks to Mind HK for organising an evening of storytelling and poetry inspired by mental health with me and fellow ambassadors Vish and Derek at the Anita Chan Lai-ling Gallery 4 March! Unbelievably, this Hong Kong International Literary Festival event sold out before I had a chance to write a post about it! 😮 Not even I have a ticket! 🤣

Happily, tickets ARE still available for Mind HK‘s Conversations of the Heart event at Tai Kwun Sat 24 Feb! Vish, Derek and I will be among the ambassadors sharing stories and poems from 10.30-11.30am. I promise you Vish is off-the-scale, Derek is a rising star, and I am Poet Laureate of my bathroom. You can get tickets here!

We are just the warm up act for a whole day of inspiring talks, panel discussions and presentations by awesome Mind staff and other ambassadors. I will be there all day. Hope to see you there!
